A Colourful Day: Carrot Girl

Carrot Girl

She cried and cried until she turned into a carrot.

Sorry I can't expand on this painting...,
I met her at "Life In A Day" (2011) a documentary by Kevin Macdonald and 17 Co-Directors (that's right!)

Her tears were real and I had a hard time painting once started

Welcome

I had a good run in the fashion business where Creativity is survival.

When I was flush and could, I sold out to pursue the calling and have been painting daily since

Before that I actually earned a living (thank G-d) raised two well-adjusted children and had a decent social life.

My goal is to paint colourful paintings that have meaning to me, that make me laugh and cry (well mostly laugh). I avoid angst but if it does creep in, it's genuinely exploitive. I live with my wife and my dog - Miss Zoe Waggles - and both still love me.

I enjoy connecting with artists and art lovers worldwide and I welcome your comments.

My format is oils and pastels. I paint from real life, sketches, and photos. I love to watch classic movies and take inspiration from the actors and actresses, from stars to cameo players and especially extras.
